President Donald Trump earned more than half a billion dollars from his cryptocurrency ventures in 2024, according to his annual financial disclosure form released Tuesday. The form, reviewed by HuffPost, shows Trump earned $594,263,944 from World Liberty Financial, the crypto exchange he launched in 2024, and related entities.
Details of Crypto Income
The 927-page disclosure form, signed by Trump on Monday, lists crypto income across a dozen lines. Over $33 million came from token sales via his Bitcoin Key wallet. The largest single chunk, $236,250,000, is attributed to token sales by World Liberty Financial. The exchange is run by Trump's sons and the sons of Steve Witkoff, Trump's envoy to the Middle East and Russia. It reportedly received a $500 million investment from the UAE's national security adviser days before Trump took office in January 2025.
Comparison with Traditional Assets
Trump's longstanding profitable enterprises pale in comparison to his crypto earnings. His golf course in Sterling, Virginia, earned $24.9 million, while Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, brought in $77.5 million. The disclosure form lists hundreds of other income sources, most reporting under $201, the lowest threshold.
Trump's Reversal on Crypto
Trump previously called Bitcoin a scam in June 2021, saying, “Bitcoin, it just seems like a scam. I don’t like it because it’s another currency competing against the dollar.” His stance changed after meeting with crypto investors and receiving large contributions to his super PACs during his 2024 campaign. He spoke at the Bitcoin Conference in 2024, promising to make the U.S. the “crypto capital” of the world. Since returning to office, he has signed executive orders benefiting crypto, halted federal regulation of the industry, and created a strategic crypto reserve.
